Overview

Superjudge was Monster Magnet's second official album, with their debut release Tab being an EP, and also their debut with major label A&M Records. It was recorded and mixed by Steve Rosenthal at New York's "The Magic Shop" studio in October, 1992, with all original material composed by the band's lead vocalist Dave Wyndorf.

The album fared poorly commercially, largely due to its release coinciding with the advent of the grunge era, which ultimately resulted in a dramatic decline in the popularity of heavy metal in general. Though a commercial disappointment in the months following its release in 1993, Superjudge has since become a very influential album within the stoner rock genre.[4]

The album includes covers of Willie Dixon's "Evil" (utilizing an arrangement used by the band Cactus on their 1971 cover of the song), and Hawkwind's "Brainstorm" from their 1972 album, Doremi Fasol Latido.
